This invention relates to the method of and means for producing ornamentation of stainless iron, the general object of the invention being to provide means for covering cor-- clalm.

In describing the invention in detail, reference will be had to the accompanying drawing wherein like characters denote like or corresponding parts throughout the several views, and in which: Figure 1 is aview of the stainless metal with the stencil sheet thereon.

Figure 2 is an edge view of Figure 1. Figure 3 is an edge view showing the covering medium in place on the plate.

Figure 4-. is a view of the completed plate. In these views the letter A indicates the plateof stainless metal, and the letter B the stencil plate attached to one face thereof.

15 specifically pointed out in the appended The parts of the plate exposed by the stencil are treated with varnish, after which the varnish is baked at a temperature of preferably. 250 F. Of course, the parts which are not to be treated may be covered with other material such as fiber paper.

.The stencil B is then removed and the exposed portion not covered'by the varnish or fiber paper or other material is covered with a composition preferably consisting of powdered pumice, oil, lime, and kerosene after which the exposed parts are worked with a tantico brush or bufi' thereby producing a beautiful two-tone, finish similar to etching but more economically produced.

scape, or other ornamental work now done by the etching process can be produced and it will have as much or more beauty.

This invention can be used for'producing name-plates, signs, grave markers, lettering 5b of all kinds, etc.

Figure 3 shows the sheet after the/varnish or other covering material is applied as shown at 1 and Figure 4 shows the polished or not treated surfaces of the plate at 2 and 6 the treated portions at 3.

It is thought from the foregoing description that the advantages and novel features of the invention will be readily apparent.

It is to be understood that changes may be made in the construction and in the combination and arrangement of the several parts provided that such changes fall within the scope of the appended claim.

I claim:

The herein described method of producing designs, letters, etc., on stainless metal consisting in covering certain portions of the metal with a pr otective covering and then treating the other portions witha composition composed of powdered'pumice, oil, lime and .kerosene and working the surface so covgreirfl with the composition with a brush or In testimony whereof I afiix my signature. FRED G. SGHLUDEGKER.

The above mentioned ingredients are used in approximately the following proportions2+4 parts kerosene, 1 part engine oil, 3 parts powdered pumice, 1 part burnt lime.

By this method any letters, design, landatop
